The whiskey itself is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon that was distilled in 2018 and matured for a full six years in charred oak barrels. The result is a 100-proof whiskey that (according to the brand) is loaded with complex flavors like vanilla, toffee, caramel, and “warm earthy notes.”

“This collaboration represents much more than just a bottle of bourbon to me,” October London said in a press release. “It’s about honoring the artistry that goes into both music and bourbon. Just like in music, the process of creating something as complex and refined as bourbon is a journey. It’s about blending tradition with innovation, and I’m proud to be part of this with Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon.”

There’s no denying the appeal of American single malt whiskey. Although it’s only been a recognized category since January, several distilleries have been making it for years.
